Group Sizes

Most programs are designed for groups of 15 - 25 students. The minimum group size for tours is 15 students. If your group is smaller than 15, you may still book a program; however, you will be charged for 15 students. We can accommodate more than one group at a time. Help your program start on time by splitting your class into appropriately sized groups prior to arriving. Please consult chart below:

Arriving at the Gallery

Bring your students into the Tour Group Lobby in an orderly fashion and instruct them to leave backpacks, coats etc. in the school programs cloakroom (located in the north corner of the Tour Group Lobby).

To check in, have the group leader bring the confirmation letter and method of payment to the Visitor Services desk in the Tour Group Lobby. The Visitor’s Service representative will process payment and advise you of your next steps.

Don’t be late! Please arrive 15 minutes prior to your program start time. If delayed, call 613-990-4888. If you arrive 20 or more minutes late, your program will be cancelled and you will be charged a cancellation fee of $70.00 per interpreter booked for your group.
